Admitted / Not Admitted Fuel - Nordica CUCINOTTA Bedienungsanleitung

The air entrance for combustion into the installation place must not be closed during the operation of the
cooker. It is absolutely necessary that in the environment in which the cookers operate with the natural flue
of the chimney, it is introduced as much air as necessary for the combustion, i.e. up to 20 m
The natural recirculation of air must be ensured by some fixed openings on the outside. The size of the
necessary openings for air is fixed by the relevant prescriptions. Ask information to your chimney sweeper.
The openings should be protected with grids and should never be obstructed.
An extraction hood (aspirating) installed in the same room or in a room
nearby, causes depression with output of combusted gasses (smoke,
smell) even if the hearth door closed. As consequence a contemporary
operation of the hoods is not possible.
The depression in an extraction hood can at worst hypothesis,
transforms the flue into an external air intake, by sucking the smokes
of the rooms with dangerous consequences for the people.
OPTIONAL
For a total comfort and relative oxygenation of the same environment, the combustion air of the cooker can
be taken directly from outside. In order to do it, the cooker can be connected to the external air intake
through an optional junction. (Picture 8 C) (Kit Ø120).

ADMITTED / NOT ADMITTED FUEL

The fuels admitted are wood logs. One must use only logs of dry wood (water content max. 20 %). The
size of wood logs should be 30 cm's long and 30 cm's max in circumference.
The wood used as fuel must have a moisture contents lower than 20%, which is obtained after at least 1
year drying (tender wood) or 2 years (hard wood) and must be stored in a dry and ventilated place (for ex.
Under a shed). The wet wood makes ignition more difficult because it is necessary a greater quantity of
energy to evaporate the existing water. The humid contents has the disadvantage that, with the
temperature lowering, the water condensates first in the hearth and then in the chimney. The unseasoned
wood contains about 60 % of H20, then it is not suitable to be burnt.
The following cannot be burnt: rests of coal, cutoffs, parts of barks and panels, wet wood or treated
with varnished, plastic materials. In this case the guarantee on the appliance lapses. Paper and
carton must be used only for ignition.
National law on the protection against emissions forbids the combustion of wastes. This may damage the
cooker and the chimney, causing health damages and claims by the neighbourhood owing to the bad
smell. The wood is not a fuel, which allows a continuous operation of the appliance, as consequence the
heating all over the night is not possible.
